    I as well have the same problem with some new games as well  (aveyond4 and others)all 2013+

    they work only in windowed screen and using alt+tab helped viewing the game in windowed screen..

    still I have kept patient and upgraded win10 to the latest update (1511 x-64) to no use..

    I hope they fix the problem quickly and not to have to reinstall win7..

    Guys, i found the solution and i guess it works for everyone. I solved it on my sony vaio laptop with 965 chipset. Found this trick from a random site.

    Open regedit, go to "hkey_local_machine->system->currentcontrolset001->control->graphicsdrivers->configuration. You will see many entries in it, expand each categoy and look for scaling entry. Change value to hexadecimal 3 (2-center image, 3-full screen scaling, 4- maintain aspect ratio) for all those categories. 

    Close it, open any game and voila :) 

    PS: My chipset is old and don't have any drivers for 10, i got it from windows update. Cheers.

    Have you tried changing different values other than 3? And i had wddm 1.1 driver as graphic driver, maybe it doesn;t work for other chipset drivers.
